March 2017

The annual event that is Wondercon is back again, and this time, back at the Anaheim Convention Center. I’ll be there, selling prints, original art and maybe even some sketches and on hand to chat away. It’s a much more low key convention than say, San Diego Comic Con, and pretty fun all around. I’m at booth 1024, right next to my buddies at Yesterdays Pins.

I spent a heavy amount of time the other day doing some new ink wash studies on my limited edition screenprinted “sketchcards.” These are single color screened prints on Stonehenge printmaking paper, and limited to 200 in grand total. Each card is worked to be a unique creation, with the border elements pre-printed via screen. I’ll have about a dozen new cards available at the convention all themed around my recent exploration, the skull. Each original drawing is priced at convention pricing: $75 each until gone.

In addition to original art and prints, I’ll be debuting a brand new screenprint. “Hugs” is my new three-color hand pulled sloth-themed screenprint and comes in two colorways. As usual, each is hand signed and numbered by me, and even come with a sloth sticker to boot. A much more limited run this time, at 100 qty for the regular, and only 50 for the variant. They debut at Wondercon, but any remainders will go online after the show for public purchase. See you there!

Entitled “Heavy Metal Lover,” this group show features works that incorporate a metallic element in some fashion. Metal leaf, metallic paint, or some other such metal medium has been incorporated into each of the artist’s works for an added dimension of color and texture. I’m honored to have scored the flyer, and just went all out on this one. Was a fun piece to do, and I enjoyed incorporating a blend of bronze, copper and gold metallic paints into a custom über metal element on certain areas. The show opens Saturday, April 1 at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. I will be at Wondercon in Los Angeles (look for the next post right after this one) so won’t be in attendence, but if you’re in the SF area, check out the show. The works I’ve seen are all stellar, which is par for the course for Prisma, but in this case, everyone pulled out all the stops. Enjoy my contribution to the show: “Paragon.”
